The angel of the Lord said to Balaam, “Go with the men. But say only what I tell you to say.” So Balaam went with Balak’s officials.
But Micaiah said, “You can be sure that the Lord lives. And you can be just as sure that I can only tell the king what my God says.”
So I let them go their own stubborn way. I let them follow their own sinful plans.
Anyone who lives without blame is kept safe. But anyone whose path is crooked will fall into the pit.
Balak heard that Balaam was coming. So he went out to meet him. They met at a Moabite town near the Arnon River. The town was on the border of Balak’s territory.
But I would not listen to Balaam’s curses. So he blessed you again and again. And I saved you from his power.
